Despite the final score of 32 - 20, the game was quite close up until the late fourth quarter. No matter how many games the Cardinals lose this season one thing is certain, the team has improved from last year, but it turns out they haven't improved enough to win yesterday. Source: SB Nation markaz's Take: The reasons for the losses continue to be the same with Carson Palmer's poor decision-making process leading the way and Vernon Davis further demonstrating that the Cards' secondary just isn't very good at stopping a passing attack.
